In and out

[SteveT]

This question arose yesterday.

Can an infantry unit leave a building and enter a different building (say across the street) in a single Run order?

Bolt Action 2nd Ed page 123 top left paragraph:

A Run order can be used to either leave the building, to move up or down two floors, to move up to two adjoining buildings, or to make an assault into an adjoining floor or building. A running unit cannot also shoot – as per the usual rule. Note that some buildings have a flat roof which is accessible from inside the building, and might even have a low wall around its perimeter. Simply treat such flat roofs as the uppermost floor of the building.

 

The same Run Order should be able to enter the building across the street if it fulfills the conditions of entering that building.

Hm. But that is really talking about adjoining buildings. Not running across a street into a new one. Right?

[Master Chief]

That paragraph is under the “ORDERS TO TROOPS INSIDE BUILDINGS” section that started on page 122. So a Run Order can be issued to a unit to leave the building, and if the unit can also reach another building across the street (with at least one model at an opening into that building), it should be able to enter it, as units can only enter buildings via a Run Order.
